Kusamono with the Asian 'Himalaya' elder (Senecio archeri), <\/strong>planted in a small concrete pot made by me.
I prepared the composition a few months ago, so I am sure that the plant has taken root well and is growing steadily.<\/p>\n

The Asian old-growth 'Himalaya' produces elongated, narrow leaves clustered at the ends of its shoots. Over time, the plant gradually becomes woody at the base and expands, developing a more elaborate form resembling a small tree. Regular pruning allows you to influence the growth direction and maintain the composition's proportions.<\/p>\n

I handcrafted the vessel from fine-grained, colored concrete. The composition is complemented by light limestone stones I brought from Slovenia.<\/p>\n

    KUSAMONO CARE<\/p>\n

    Kusamono is best placed in a very bright spot. The Asian ragwort tolerates direct sunlight well, and the right amount of light helps maintain a compact habit and healthy growth.<\/p>\n

    The substrate should dry out between waterings. Watering frequency should be adjusted to the temperature and conditions in the room.<\/p>\n

    The soil mix I used is nutritious and well-drained, so fertilization isn't necessary for extended periods. Fertilization can be gradually introduced, if necessary, and the plant's response monitored.<\/p>\n

    The plant will continue to grow and gradually change shape. Regular pruning can maintain a more compact shape or direct its growth in a desired direction.<\/p>\n

    \n

    DIMENSIONS<\/p>\n

      \n
    • vessel dimensions: 10 x 6 x 5 cm<\/li>\n
    • total height: 13 cm<\/li>\n
    • composition width: 14 cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      PACKING AND SHIPPING<\/p>\n

      The composition is carefully protected for transport in an ecological cardboard packaging, with a matching filling to stabilize the plant and the vessel.<\/p>\n

      Shipping is dependent on weather conditions. In very cold or hot weather, shipping may be delayed. In such cases, I will contact the buyer to arrange a safe date.<\/p>\n

      Kusamono is a living plant composition. I only ship healthy and well-rooted plants, but their continued development depends on the indoor conditions and subsequent care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":10361,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[200],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-10348","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-kokedama-i-kusamono","product_shipping_class-kokedama","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/10348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=10348"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=10348"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=10348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
